cold stratum ol air, which condenses it ir. the form
of mist—winch naturally graviiales toward the
surface. When the radiation is weak, the mist
seems to lie upon the ground , but Alien' moro
powerful, the stratum of mist may be seen eleva-ted
a fiw feet above the ground. Mist too, may
be st-en lo continue longer over the water thffn'
the land, owing to the sIowr>r radiation of vapor
from water; and it is genera'Ny seen in the hol-
]o*est portions of ground on actoanl of the cold
nir, as it descends from the surrcrtmHrng rising
ground and mixes with the air in the hollow, eV
mintshing us capacity for moisture.
Mist also varies its character according to its e-leclric
state ; if negatively affected, it depOBrtes1
its vapor more quickly, forminp a heavy 3ort 6f
dew, and welling every thing like rain ; but if
positively, ii continues to exist as fog, nnd letains
the vapor in the state in which it has not the prop-erly
of wetting like the other.
'I'he foes in hollows constitute the '.rue stratus
cloud. We see vapor at a distance in '.be atmos-phere,
and call it cloucf; but when it sinhs JO the
earth, or will not rise, and we are immersea in*it;
we call it mist or fog. When immersed in a
cloud on a mountain, we say we are in a mist;
but the same mist will be seen by a sptctatof, at
a distance in the valley, as a beautiful cirro stra-tus,
resting on the mountain.*

land and water wildl it up until it meets with a
cold stratum ol air, which condenses it ir. the form
of mist—winch naturally graviiales toward the
surface. When the radiation is weak, the mist
seems to lie upon the ground , but Alien' moro
powerful, the stratum of mist may be seen eleva-ted
a fiw feet above the ground. Mist too, may
be st-en lo continue longer over the water thffn'
the land, owing to the sIowr>r radiation of vapor
from water; and it is genera'Ny seen in the hol-
]o*est portions of ground on actoanl of the cold
nir, as it descends from the surrcrtmHrng rising
ground and mixes with the air in the hollow, eV
mintshing us capacity for moisture.
Mist also varies its character according to its e-leclric
state ; if negatively affected, it depOBrtes1
its vapor more quickly, forminp a heavy 3ort 6f
dew, and welling every thing like rain ; but if
positively, ii continues to exist as fog, nnd letains
the vapor in the state in which it has not the prop-erly
of wetting like the other.
'I'he foes in hollows constitute the '.rue stratus
cloud. We see vapor at a distance in '.be atmos-phere,
and call it cloucf; but when it sinhs JO the
earth, or will not rise, and we are immersea in*it;
we call it mist or fog. When immersed in a
cloud on a mountain, we say we are in a mist;
but the same mist will be seen by a sptctatof, at
a distance in the valley, as a beautiful cirro stra-tus,
resting on the mountain.*
The magnifying power of mist isn well known'

effects may have been observed by every or.e ;
